Especially since the A6's have had serious problems with wraping
rotors. My '00 A6Q is on it's third set of rotors. The first set
warped on the way home from the dealer! (OK, it was 1100 miles
home from the dealer, but still....)

I believe they finally have the rotors sorted out, so I'd try to
get it taken care of. They are easy to check for runout.
